Closed [The Silver Sliver] An exchange of beliefs? (Valerius)

[Tanjun Vorot]

After hearing about the Kelvic Research Institute, her interest was piked, but shot down almost instantly after he told that his aunt would like to torture the creatures herself. Well, if she proved that she was good, that aunt might hire her. "Well, it'll be a pleasure then.", she replied. The venomous undertone had disappeared from her voice, but it still looked like she was ready to kill him. The pay was good. Six golden Mizas per day for doing that what she enjoyed, what could be better? That amount made the corners of Tanjun's mouth curl upwards a little. She was happy with that amount, more then happy even. With that amount of money, she could live much, MUCH easier. Now she didn't have to scrape by anymore. "Tools? Hmm, never really used em. Do you have any recommendations?", she asked him. Of course this girl had never used tools. She had never worked as a torturer and she did not have the money to even buy them. "Couldn't use em, because I never had any. Didn't have the money to buy em, you know?"

Tanjun still looked like she was ready to kill him, and Valerius still looked like he was very interested in dragging her to the Ebonstryfe, but he had decided to delay his plans because she had turned out to be entertaining and at least mildly useful. Good torturers were hard to come by, especially good torturers that came in the shape of little girls. He was curious what her victims would say when they saw her. „I prefer to use the whip“, he informed her as she asked him about recommendations. „It works very well on disobedient slaves. The cat of nine tails is especially interesting, but it’s more of an instrument of punishment than a real torture instrument. In the long run you might want something a little more subtle and creative.“ „As far as real torture instruments are concerned, I rather like the heretic’s fork“, he admitted and then went on to describe it. „It’s a most interesting thing, a device that is placed between the breast bone and the chin and secured with a leather strap. The victim is then hung from the ceiling. When his head drops, and he is about to fall asleep, he experiences intense pain. People are very likely to confess if you deprive them of sleep.“ „Everybody values their sleep. And the heretic’s fork isn’t as bloody as other torture instruments.“ That was its greatest advantage as far as Valerius was concerned. He occasionally whipped his disobedient slaves bloody, but he didn’t really like blood and preferred it when making people bleed could be avoided. Blood was disgusting. „But you should choose your torture instruments yourself and not listen to my recommendations. You probably have other preferences.“

[Tanjun Vorot]

Torturing without drawing blood? Just depriving them of sleep? Where was the fun in that? It's much more fun to just make them scream in agony right? "Eh??? Just making them sleepy is torture? That's no fun.", the girl answered a little bewildered. "Ain't it more fun to just make em scream in agony or so? Have them beg and grovel at your feet?" Tanjun leaned forward and rested her head on her hands as she looked a little intrigued at Valerius. It's actually the first time that another guy, besides her brother, managed to intrigue her like this. "I usually just break people's arms, or skin them or so. I once tortured someone by destroying her toys... though I don't quite get why she was so frantic about those things. Oh well, who cares. It did keep her away from my brother though.", she told as she remembered that particular girl. Grinning she looked at Valerius again and asked: "But why don't you like it bloody? Why do you take a round-a-bout way to torture a victim like this? If you ask me, that way takes too long to work." The girl absolutely didn't understand why he wanted it like that. Then again, she didn't have much patience, so that could be a reason.

oocSorry for the delay, but my muse was just completely refusing to cooperate. Anyway, wanna start wrapping it up? I think that it's been long enough already. (especially considering it's already Winter when we started in Summer >.<)
